There are some of us in Columbus that still want Svitov to come back, we can use him in our lineup.

I believe his contract in Russia has expired and he still has a valid contract with Columbus that he needs to fullfill. I think he would be an excellent 3rd line center in the NHL. He's 27 now; a lot more mature than when he left Columbus 3 years ago.

So...has anyone seen Evegeny Skachkov's play Traktor Chelyabinsk recently so they can give a scouting report to Blues fans? He just signed a 3-yr ELC with St. Louis, and his HF-profile is a bit outdated.

haven't seen him much, he's a hard working kid with a scoring touch. Hope he gets a shot to make the team.

Anybody have any info on him? Any chance he comes to the CHL this year? Anything would be usefull. Thanks
